With the other two horses they got to within five miles of the place we first procured water at on the 30th March.

Here a second horse had become unable to proceed, and the things he had carried were also obliged to be left behind.

They then got both horses to the first well at the sand-hills and watered them, and after resting a couple of hours came on to join me.

Short as this distance was, the jaded horse could not travel it, and was left behind a mile and a half back.

Having shewn the overseer and boy the camp, I sent the other two natives to fetch up the tired horse, whilst I attended to the other, and put the solitary sheep in for the night.
